I think I could confidentantly say that 4-5 of the categories at the bottom of this list wouldn't make it into the next league. Personally, I got three starting batters from "Run Producers", "Thieving Infielders" and "Mash It or Miss It", which would've been near or at the bottom.

Posted by pinotfan on 1/21/2013 6:46:00 PM (view original):Regarding trades, I see firesalt's point. However, think of the leverage that team with two SS will have (assuming that SS is a scarce position). If I have two quality shortstops and somebody else really needs one, I'm certainly going to get more than equal value for him. Sure, being able to trade to fill a hole gives you an 'out' but it's an expensive one ...

This was my thought exactly. This still puts the people who drafted better in a position of strength as they would be able to bleed the team missing a positional player for extra value. But I'd be fine with or without trades.

I am fine with our without trades also. I think it is a good idea to experiment a little and see what works best. I just wanted us to consider everything before making a decision. To speed the untimed portion of the draft, we could have a trade period, during which all draft pick trades must be made. After the period is over we start the drafts.

I'd like to second item 9 of pinotfan's list a few pages back, that the links be convenient to the draft pages. I was busy during this draft and disliked the time wasted going back and forth. But I certainly will play again. I wonder what Ron Shandler would say about our various draft strategies. I know there was a lot of "Stars and Scrubs" bidding.

Schwarze, any idea on when you would want to post the season 2 thread in the theme league classifieds? Part of me wants to do it soon because I know how long it took last time to fill and also because I can be an impatient person :)
